Saddler's Rock strives to go two better than last year in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot this afternoon.
John Oxx's stayer should possibly have a few more big-race wins on his CV than just the Doncaster and Goodwood Cups. Not a horse seemingly blessed with a huge amount of luck, he was third in this race 12 months ago on unsuitably soft ground and things went badly wrong in the Dubai Gold Cup in March.
Smartly away under Declan McDonogh, his saddle soon slipped and his rider was unable to ride any kind of finish, doing well in the end to be as close as he was.
